Gevrey-Chambertin is a commune rich in Grand Crus. These can be roughly divided into two categories, the lower ones, which include the Chapelle-Chambertin, are considered to be the more tender and red-berry, while the upper ones are stronger and darker in fruit. The name comes from a chapel built here in 1165 by monks from the Abbey of Bèze. In 1830, however, this had to give way to the vines.
From Les Parcellaires de Saulx there was a small amount of Chapelle-Chambertin in 2019, which combines the fullness and concentration of the vintage with the enchanting elegance of this Grand Cru location. This treasure was aged in barriques for fifteen months. It has a rather dark ruby red color for a Pinot Noir. Cherries, raspberries, as well as red and black currants can be found in its scent, spiced with a very finely resonating note of wood. On the palate it has a grandiose density, the very low yield of highly concentrated berries from this vintage is reflected here. He has great length and great balance at a very high level, is very elegant and voluminous at the same time. Leaves you speechless!
